A Pair of Perceptive Eyes

The Immortal Spirit Realm, the Northern Snowfield Qing Zhou.

The silent snowfield seemed to come alive; a strange force drove large groups of Snow Beast out of their dens, and they scattered in search of new homes.

But with ice spikes raining down and various Technique Method blocking their way, the Snow Beast were forced to take the only relatively safe path.

But at the end of this road, a massive killing formation awaited them!

A sudden burst of light illuminated the snow-covered plain, casting a unique hue. After the light faded, Hai Tingzhou was the first to enter the formation. Looking at the Snow Crystal scattered on the ground, he hurriedly said to Sang Ying and the others, "Quick, let's collect these Snow Crystal first, then deal with the next batch of Snow Beast!"

Following Hai Tingzhou's advice, the group diligently worked on the task several more times. Only when they could find no more living Snow Beast around did they finally stop.

"Even though there are a lot of Snow Beast, after today's incident, at least for the next few months, the nearby villages will be able to live a peaceful life." With another large bag of Snow Crystal in her pocket, Sang Ying patted her bulging Storage Bag with great satisfaction.

The others also received a considerable amount, and even the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators who hadn't contributed much had smiles plastered on their faces.

Fang Chi casually accepted the last Snow Crystal from Hai Tingzhou, then turned to Sang Ying and asked, "With these Snow Crystal, can we go to Delusion-Breaking City?"

Earlier, Sang Ying had asked the group about their intentions, and Fang Chi and Hai Tingzhou were certain they would follow Sang Ying. She then briefly recounted her experiences over the years and explained the potential dangers they might encounter after entering the city.

But the two didn't care and were determined to go with her. Seeing that she couldn't persuade them otherwise, Sang Ying agreed.

As for the body cultivators, after hearing about the actions of the Gong Household, they lost interest in visiting Delusion-Breaking City.

Sang Ying naturally supported their choice and even showed them the way out of the snowfield.

However, before leaving, I naturally need to earn some Snow Crystal to buy myself some things.

So after some discussion, the group came up with the idea of joining forces to kill the Snow Beast.

"We probably have enough Snow Crystal to rent a courtyard in Delusion-Breaking City right now." After considering their Snow Crystal, Sang Ying wasn't as worried as before.

Hai Tingzhou also said, "Since that's the case, let's not waste any more time and go into Delusion-Breaking City as soon as possible."

Although Sang Ying did not explicitly state who she was going to save, the two knew from her demeanor that this person's identity was probably quite extraordinary.

The body cultivators seized the opportunity to speak up, "All good things must come to an end. It has truly been fate that we have met you all in the snowy plains these past few days. We will certainly remember your kindness, especially Fellow Sang Ying's life-saving grace; we will never forget it!"

Sang Ying and the other two quickly waved their hands, telling the four of them not to worry about it.

But now that things have come to this point, breaking up is inevitable.

Since everyone was a cultivator, they were used to parting ways and didn't feel much sadness. They simply exchanged a few parting words and then took their leave.

Before leaving, Ti Xiu didn't forget to give Sang Ying the money he had spent over the past few days and ask her to deliver the Snow Crystal to Zhang Niang.

Sang Ying did not disappoint them. When she left Zhang Niang, she secretly left behind a sum of Snow Crystal that would be enough for her to live out the rest of her life in peace, as well as a lot of food.

After today, Sang Ying doesn't know if she will ever meet Zhang Niang again. But she believes that a woman as resilient as Zhang Niang will definitely protect herself.

Using the last rays of the setting sun, Sang Ying and the other two paid up enough Spirit Crystal and were finally allowed into Delusion-Breaking City by the guards.

Within the towering city walls, covered in white frost, lay a scene of bustling prosperity.

Unlike the biting cold outside the city, the city was warm under the protection of the barrier, as if it were not a snowfield at all, resembling a paradise.

Even Sang Ying couldn't help but be somewhat surprised when she saw it.

A rogue Rogue Cultivator selling low-grade pills nearby couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You lot haven't been in the Snow Plains long, have you? This Delusion-Breaking City is like spring all year round. Not only is there no snow, but even flowers that can't grow on the Snow Plains can thrive here!"

The Rogue Cultivator's tone was tinged with relief. He knew how difficult things were outside, so after collecting enough Snow Crystal to enter the city, he refused to move out of the city no matter how hard he tried.

Seeing that the Rogue Cultivator the initiative to strike up a conversation with them, Sang Ying and Fang Chi exchanged a glance and seized the opportunity to join in. "Fellow Daoist has excellent eyesight. We are indeed from out of town and haven't been here long. I wonder if there are any taboos in Delusion-Breaking City, and where would be most suitable for us newcomers to stay?"

Before the other party could speak, Sang Ying offered the Snow Crystal.

Upon receiving this considerable amount of Snow Crystal, the Rogue Cultivator immediately beamed with joy. "Although Delusion-Breaking City doesn't have many strict rules, there are some inside stories you might not know, which could really put you at a disadvantage. But luckily you've come to me; asking me is asking the right person."

"As you all know, the Gong Household currently controls Delusion-Breaking City. Ostensibly, the head of the Gong Household in charge, but ever since the second young master of the Gong Household gained his Wisdom Eyes, it's clear to everyone that he's the true master. However, we certainly can't get close to someone as powerful as him. So you don't need to worry about that. Just make sure you don't say anything unpleasant, and there won't be any problems."

"Secondly..." he lowered his voice, sounding somewhat cautious, "The young lady behind you would better not wear Hongyi. Our second young master's fiancée is fond of Hongyi. If she sees her, it might not be good."

The Rogue Cultivator's face was full of inscrutable words, seemingly harboring a very poor impression of the Second Young Master Gong's fiancée.

Sang Ying kept these words in mind. Even as the Rogue Cultivator continued to give her instructions, Sang Ying did not interrupt.

"Delusion-Breaking City is divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city is where the Gong Clan family lives. Besides them, other Aristocratic Clan families also stay there. We can only stay in the outer city, and the original inhabitants are very xenophobic. If you want to find a place to stay, besides an inn, you'd better look at the eastern part of the outer city."

In recent years, the environment on the snowfield has become increasingly harsh, and a large number of mortal cultivators have poured into Delusion-Breaking City.

Perhaps fearing that outsiders would affect them, the local inhabitants were very hostile towards outsiders. Newcomers like Sang Ying not only failed to find accommodation with them, but were also cheated out of Snow Crystal.

Out of consideration for Sang Ying and the others' generosity, the Rogue Cultivator offered a few more words of advice.

As they were speaking, a procession surged in through the city gate.

Guards clad in leather armor and wielding weapons walked in front and behind, while in the very center, encircled, was a sedan chair covered with thick Jiaoren Silk.

The sedan chair was extremely luxurious and spacious, carried on the shoulders of seven or eight cultivators. It seemed that the ground would shake with each step it took.

The rogue Rogue Cultivator, who had been talking so confidently, immediately changed his expression and pulled Sang Ying and the other two to hide on the side of the street.

Seeing that Sang Ying and the others were still boldly peering towards the sedan chair, he was so frightened that he quickly reached out and pressed their heads down. "Don't look! If they discover what you're doing, you'll probably be arrested as spies from other forces!"

However, the Rogue Cultivator was a step too slow. A sharp gaze was cast directly at Sang Ying and the others. Sang Ying, who had concealed her cultivation, immediately noticed it, while the Rogue Cultivator remained clueless and continued to chatter on.

A sound came from her wrist; Jiang Zhuoxue sensed something and was trembling with excitement.

It was probably Jiulian's Thousand Faces that took effect, and with Jiang Zhuoxue present, those so-called Wisdom Eyes were no longer so sharp.

His oppressive gaze didn't linger for long; he quickly scanned all four of them, and once he realized they weren't anything special, he abruptly looked away.

Sang Ying carefully reached out and patted the black dragon's head as a gesture of reassurance.

Don't worry, we'll get your things back soon!

Sang Ying watched the departing procession and told herself this in her heart.
